WASHINGTON (Sputnik) - The global sanctions framework imposed on Russia must be looked at as a factor in achieving a final resolution to the conflict in Ukraine, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated on Wednesday.
"This is a protracted three year and almost three and a half year war now, or three year war, it has a lot of frameworks of sanctions that have been built globally now that have to be looked at as part of an ultimate end of a conflict," Rubio told reporters.
Furthermore, certain conditions set by Moscow regarding the Black Sea ceasefire agreement involve sanctions imposed on Russia by the European Union, which need to be evaluated, he added.
“After our meeting [in Riyadh], the Russians detailed the number of conditions that they want to see met in order to do that [the Black Sea ceasefire]. So, we're going to evaluate that. Some of those conditions include sanctions that are not ours. They belong to the European Union,” Rubio said.
